 Chimney Rock Interpretive Program Website
Chimney Rock's twin spires are entirely natural in origin, the erosional remnant of a thick sequence of sedimentary rock laid down in the late Cretaceous Period, from about 100-70 million years ago.
The oldest rocks exposed in the area (to the north of Chimney Rock) are the terrestrial and marine-shoreline sandstones and siltstones of the Mesa Verde Group; above these beds lies the shallow sea-bottom Lewis Shale, which forms the slopes and canyons of the Chimney Rock area.
After the most recent retreat of the Wisconsin Glaciation (about 15,000 years ago), the most active erosion ended, leaving the twin formation we call Chimney Rock, standing free of the softer shales and weaker sandstones that once surrounded and covered it.
